Kim you made our daughter Ashleigh's wedding so beautiful the flowers were stunning and your care and support on the day was the best. We loved having you do the organising.

Monique, Bride's Mum

We had 3 days of incredible moments. The wedding was the most memorable. It was the perfect day with no wind or rain, probably the most relaxing day since everything was so well organized. Seeing all the elements put together on the day after all the months of planning and conversations was incredibly overwhelming. Every little detail we discussed and talked about was there. The colors were incredible. One email we received from Kim Chan read ‘I look forward to working with you and assisting you in making your wedding better than you ever envisioned”. Kim totally delivered on her promise. The Dream Team made it perfect with beautiful flowers, amazing food and stunning artistry from the photographer. Surprise: Dinosaurs! Kim, We will both be forever grateful for not only the big things, but those tiny details you threw together last minute. The place setting name cards, table numbers, seating chart etc. Nothing was forgotten nor overlooked.

Greg and Mira Wickes

What a fantastic, awesomely styled wedding!! You have a great vision and bring that WOW factor to the moment. How the space feels adds so much to the experience everyone has, and everyone loved it. So well done you . . . again! And you’re so great to work with – everything just flows and ‘seems’ easy – and we all know that isn’t always the case!

Lyndal

Run out of superlatives when describing the service provided by Kim for our wedding! Organisation was second to none, nothing was too much trouble and made an anxious bride very happy. Every detail covered and already thought of, great temperament and a wonderful support.

I want to thank you in particular, and thank your team, for the absolutely magnificent effort you went to. You were supportive and experienced in not only your amazing floral abilities but also in your advice, my personal guru. You made the day run a lot more smoothly with your calm efficient manner, and I can't tell how much that helped me.

Kim brought our marquee to life with her creative touch. The florals were minimal but absolutely gorgeous and impactful....just the way we wanted it. Thank you for contributing to the magic! The pole flowers were a great touch! We had a lot of comments from our guests about them.

Cheryl Teo and Damien Pang

Kim was invaluable in helping us plan and decorate our wedding. We live in London, so arranging a wedding in Christchurch was always going to be difficult. However, Kim dealt with all our requests (and there were a few!) with calmness and creativity. She instantly understood the aesthetic we were trying to achieve, and not only fulfilled our requests but made suggestions that improved upon them. For example, when we presented her with images that we'd found - of flowers or decorations - she was able to recreate the exact effect we wanted - only better. On the day itself, she was discreet, organised, hard-working and professional. She worked brilliantly with everyone, from the catering team to the venue manager and our families. We were nervous about having someone help with our wedding - worried that handing over too much control might mean our wedding didn't feel like 'us'. We needn't have worried - Kim made the whole process a thousand times easier. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

I have been meaning to email you and say thank you so much for such an amazing day on Friday! It was unbelievable what you did for us, the marquee and the whole ceremony set up was just beautiful! I can’t even describe how over the moon we were with everything you have done for us. It was just the best day ever. We loved everything you had done!
